10:59 pm	Too Cynical Scott: you're a really cool guy; and I do like you.  Now is not a good time for me, I just need some space and time to think about things and to just sorta be with myself for a while.   So I'm canceling our plans for now, I hope you understand. (next day) Ummm Scott..... it occurred to me; I mean; if I wanted to tell you to fuck off, I'd tell you to fuck off.  And I'm not trying to play hard to get; I need more time.  Actually talking to you yesterday helped put things in perspective and I'm leaning more towards taking you up on your v day offer.  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I NEVER EVER EVER dreamed in my wildest imagination that a girl would actually literally mean she needs more time.  I just always assumed that that was nice for: fuck off... or go away.. or no chance in hell but I'm not a total bitch.. or I am a total bitch, but my homework this week from my therapist is to let guys who are less then me down easy.  I mean, if you would have said; Scott, in the next 3 years, you are either going to get to have a photo taken with Halle Berry or a girl is going to tell you she just needs more time and actually mean it; I'd a taken the photo op on a 4 to 1 shot.   I'm not sure what the take home message is, cause I'm pretty sure if a woman ever says something along those lines again is going to mean the stuff I said the first time.  In the words of Skipper from the TV show Penguins of Madagascar:  Still playing out....

8:31 pm	Wade in the Water See that man all dressed in white; seems like a leader; looks like an Israelite; See that man all dressed in red; looks like a man that Moses lead So the high holy days are upon us and I guess I'm feeling spiritual.  See normally I'd visit home for the high holy days since they are both happening on a weekend, but my parents don't belong to the same temple I grew up in, so I wouldn't be seeing old friends; and I won't get to watch my mom introduce or re introduce her son (the LCSW!!! who helps people and does good in the community; oh we are just so proud of him. He has a county job, so it's very secure, he helps people who don't have insurance; oohh I couldn't be more proud)  It's true, I mean, we are a product of our surroundings; and often the value of a Jewish mother, especially a Southern California Jewish mother often is judged on the success of her children.  And even though she loves me no matter what, and can rise above all that and love me for who I am, after a few years of unemployment and drifting, it would be nice to see my mom win a few rounds in a 'my son is sooooo successful' contest.  The truth is, I don't believe in God; or any kind of higher Power; but the rabbi at our temple said the most important thing a Jew can do is to serve the community and help for the greater good.  Since other avenue's of holy behavior didn't work out for me, serving the community seemed like the best way to go.  I got my LCSW cause I wanted to serve the community while living in a REALLY nice place and eating sushi often.  So career has been first; dancing 2nd, and working out 3nd.  And for some reason the past 5 or 6 years I've been trying to be a fighter.  Going to boxing gyms, sparing, working my body, often to the breaking point, or at least the spraining and fractured rib point.  Fighting just seemed to fit my personality; and i thought it's better to get my aggression out at the gym then at work or something.   I fractured my rib while sparing one day about 2 months ago; and realized I was injuring myself quite often, and no matter how hard I worked, I wasn't very good at boxing, and since I'm not getting younger, it wasn't likely that I was going to get a lot better.  Heather mentioned swimming.  The YMCA near work has an Olympic sized pool.  I belonged to a swim team from about the age of 8 to 13.  I wasn't very good, but I didn't care, it was fun, my parents loved that we went, and I got to see Kevin Costner at a swim meet.  (His kids were on the team).   So I put my boxing membership on ice, and joined the YMCA (I said young man, I was once in your shoes, I said I was, down and out with the blues)  Being in the water is weird.  It's like, my head goes under water, I start to swim, and the only thing that exists is the water, my strokes, and the distance between me and the wal (and maybe the hot girl in lane 4).  I don't think about work, my boss, my paperwork, laundry, none of that exists, just me; and trying to get myself to flow though the water smoothly.  And I can do it every day, I won't injure myself, no one is trying to beat me, and I'm not trying to beat anyone.  It's about as low impact as you can get.  Even in the masters swim class I go to, we meet as a group and talk to each other, but there isn't the machismo competition that exists in the boxing world.  No one wins or losses, some people are A LOT faster then others, but its' not really a huge deal.   Since I've been swimming I've been working a lot better; I've gotten positive reviews from my BOSS, I haven't needed Tylonal PM nearly as much; and *BY THE WAY* lost 8 lbs in one month.  (now I'm all HAWT) My blood pressure has gone down, my heart rate has gone down; and others report a serious positive steady shift in mood.  So as the new year is upon us, I have to re-think things a little.  Some new years resolutions if you will.  It seems like I should Wade in the Water; this seems to be really working for me; on a lot of levels.  Water is more smooth and healing, fighting, not so much.  La Shana Tova.  Current Mood: touched (Comment on this)

9:54 am	Whiney Emo crap Has anyone ever left like they are an actor in their own move? I feel like i've been cast in the role of Scott Bloom.  I know what I'm supposed to do, and who I'm supposed to talk to, and it's up to me to play this part and maintain until he gets back.  (I know this sounds psychotic, this just all means I havn't been feeling myself).  I really feel like that show Quantum Leap, I've leaped into Scott Bloom, and it's up to me to keep up appearences, and play the part as good as possible until he gets back. I think part of the problem is that Scott Bloom has been put in a situation that he woudn't normally be in, and needs to respond in a way that goes agaist his charcter.  Unfortunatly, the director can't yell cut and consult with the writers.  J.K Rowling isn't on set to expalin her vison of how this charcter should change and why.  So just like in the show Quantum Leap, I feel like I'm this shy, quiet person who has leaped into Scott Bloom, and needs to convince everyone I'm Scott Bloom untill he gets back.  (as I'm typing this a co-worker came in and said 'you're quiet today huh? everything ok) And like in the show Quantum Leap, I have this person who is far away, who pops up every once in a while to tell me who I am, where I'm supposed to go, and what I'm supposed to do.  (Ok Sam, tonight you need to go to Friday Night Blues.  Now when you get there, you have to be outgoing, charming and dance well.  Your swiss cheese brain doesn't remember, but you're a good dancer.  Once you get on the floor it will come naturally).  Or (ok Sam this is Rachel, she's an ex girlfriend, oh sammm she's a redhead, did I ever tell you my 2nd wife was a redhead.., anyway, you two are freinds, and she wanted to meet you before dancing.  Keep it cool and causal, i'll be back before you start dancing).   So Al (heather) and Ziggy (iphone) are trying to guide me from afar, keeping me in the role of Scott Bloom.  When Heather is on line or on the phone, I have the same feeling Sam gets when Al shows up with Ziggy.  But when she's not around, I also feel like Sam; lost in a different time and place then I'm used to, trying my best to be this person so that everyhing is the same when he gets back.  LOL even now I can picture it. (uuuhhh Sam, what are you doing on live journal.  You know, Scott has had work problems in the past, you don't want to get caught goofing off, you have to keep you're... err Scott's job.  So go get the folders and make some phone calls... you know look busy.  Speaking of busy... I'm going to go check on Rachel... you know... ummm just to make sure she's ok.)  (Al will you knock it off)  (of all the people I'm stuck with I had get the alter boy, Sam you gotta live a little, but first, GET BACK TO WORK) (1 Comment |Comment on this)
12:34 am	WTF Ok so I missed working out today.  But still, it was a chill relaxing day, I got a great review at work, and I no longer have high blood pressure. (what with the working out and eating right)   Also, I've taken 3 tylonal PM.   so why the @#$ can't I sleep!!  What's the deal.  I took 3 tylonal PM at 10:45.   (Comment on this)

9:55 am	Controversy   Ok.  For some reason I can't get this out of my head today; so I decided to blog about it cause it's stuck in my head, and cause my 10:00am intake cancelled.  I haven’t written in about half a year so bear with me, this is going to ramble.  So in the mid 90's to about '02 the message was that we are rejecting mainstream media, and you don't have to be rail thin to be beautiful, and who are they to say what beauty is.  This was largely in response to some Italian guy who somehow became really popular and started the RAIL thin trend.  And I remember groups coming to talk at UCSC discussing how America has become fattest; and it's a new minority group (the only one you can join) that is being persecuted against.  This hit a particular chord with me cause my sister struggled with body image issues to the point where it became a big medical problem.  Media; and the idea that women had to be rail thin; was largely blamed for eating disorders and low self esteem with young women.   But America thinks in extremes.  (Think GW Bush Vs Obama).  So instead of be ok with your body, and be happy with who you are, somehow or another; the message became, it's ok to be fat.  And on comes shows like the biggest loser, then the obesity crisis, the health care crisis; it's in the news, and not just FOX news but like CNN (I KNOW) Maybe people can't hold two ideas in their heads at once.  Bill Mahar spoke out against Obama a few months ago, and the media was shocked, even though Mahar said several times I support Obama, I voted for Obama, I will vote again for Obama; but......   People can't handle it.  I love my girlfriend, I think she is beautiful, I have always though she is beautiful, and she can lose a few lbs.  (She dropped 10 lbs and a dress size this summer: OMFG!!!!)  Hell I'm 15lbs overweight myself.  (stupid having 2 jobs and a social life)  But I still think I'm attractive and good looking, I will just be more so 10 lbs lighter.   I guess it's different for different people.  My old work out partner freely calls me fat every chance she gets. (Cat why do you call me fat all the time?  Because you're so fat all the time you fat ass!!)   My girlfriend does better with real results, like me pointing out how much HHOOOTTTERRR she is now that her curves are somehow even more kickin then they were before.   (insert choir of angels HERE)  Anyway, I've come full circle.  I think it's wrong to expect young women to be rail thin; but I don't think anyone ever really expected young women to be THAT thin except the young women.  (M. Monrow was a sex goddess at a size 12) I think shows like the biggest loser are great, they show that there is no magic; and it can be done.  Though it can not be  as quickly if you have a job; and having a personal trainer 30 hrs a week probably helps move things along quicker too.  When I work out I sleep better, eat better, I work better, and I @!%* better too, if you know what I mean.  It is better to be fit, and women that are in good shape are hands down better looking then women that are out of shape. I'd go on a run now, but my 11:00 did show up; and is actually early. (stupid having two jobs)     Current Mood: contemplative (Comment on this)

8:48 am	Mad at Livejournal When I first started with live journal @%*! years ago a thought occurred to me that has become very very relevant today. Everyone has problems; and I journal more when I have more problems, but I think most people don't. The people who I notice journal the most are those who journal about food; diet; what to do with their boyfriend / partner; or what they should do this weekend. I have friends who are battling drug use, job loss, depression and serious family issues, and these people journal very rarly. Of course that's cause when it's (Gosh what kind of a blues party should I throw when my girlfriend Heather is in town) that's easy to right, but no one wants to hear (wow heather's sister is really attractive, I'd love to sleep with her) that makes it awkward for everyone involved. *FYI heather's sister is attractive but I DO NOT want to sleep with her* I guess I'm preaching today, but if you're one of the one's worried about a real and serious issue that has a deep impact on your life.. for THE LOVE OF GOD journal. On here, on a private one on here, in a private one you hide with your stash; or somewhere where no one will see it, just get it out of you and on paper or on screen or whatever. No one single act has shown, alone, to increase insight; decrease depression and positively influence self esteem and the ability to communicate then journaling. You will find NO ONE in any kind of helping profession who will disagree with this. I tell my clients, even if the first line is "I hate Scott, I can't believe he wants me to do this, he's such a lame loser" then you're starting to write and that's better then not writing.   Anyway, I should get back to work so that I don't have to write "OMG I had it so well, what's wrong with me, I've lost everything I feel so ____" Heather or Louis can finish the rest.  Ok, I know we aren't suppose to practice on your friends, but it seems wrong to not journal when something serious is going on.  Oh yea, I love heather bla bla job is going well bla bla she's far bla bla  $$ is stressful but getting better cause heather helped me organize bla bla charcoal is cute.... Obama is president.. California as a state is unemployed and my new goal is to go with heather to Johanesberge, and also to spell Johannesburg correctly. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:24 pm	OMG So I'm all about this broad gawlfor, and I went to go get STD tested so that we could be more intimate and what not.. if you know what I mean and if you don't, I wanted to fuck her without a condom. That's what I mean. So I tested negative for everything, or positive for the antibotices of the negative symptoms that would show up positive if... whatever I'm all clean. I just found out my insurance plan does not cover std screening. Let me restate that, so that it is clear. I am a sexually active adult male living in the BAY AREA. I did the mature and responsible thing and got tested so that this girl that I like *a whole lot* would not get harmed by the fact that I'm a 2 bit hussy. And my insurance plan does not want single adult males living in the bay area to be covered for that sort of thing. If there is ANY demographic IN THE WORLD that needs free STD screening, it would be 16-35 year old males in Africa. But NEXT, coming in as a very very close 2nd would be sexually active males living in the bay area. WTF WORLD you can't bitch about the spread of diseases but NOT cover STD screening. it's $625.00!!! I could like buy certain parts of east africa for that price. I could at least by a ticket there and bless the rain down there. GGRRRRRRRRRRRR Current Mood: GRRRRRR (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:25 am	focus So, I'm kinda keeping to my self a bit more. I've been presented with this great opprotunity and I want to make sure that I work hard to make this job a success. I learned that you shouldn't look a horse's gift in the mouth. My dad once told me not to mouth off to a gifted horse. If a horse mouths off at you, consider it a gift. No; if you get a gift from a mouthy horse, it's really good. It's good when a horse give you his mouth as a gift. (that can't be right) OOOKAAAYYY there is a horse. That horse has a mouth. And somewhere there is a gift that you shouldn't look at. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:12 am	my boss NO I'm not just going to bitch about my boss. She's very smart, detail oriented, and knows how to do this job better then almost anyone; and runs a tight ship. The only thing I want to say about her is that she kinda acts like a tuff coach. Every time I get better, instead of telling me how much better I am, she just focuses in more and finds OTHER stuff I'm doing wrong. Now my *I don't know what to call her cause even thinking about the issue makes my head explode* aka Gawlfor stated that the problem is I REALLY respond well to that kind of management cause it scares the crap out of me; and so there is no reason for my boss NOT to do that. Sorta the Dr Cox method of teaching. *My god Newbie how did you manage to get to be this age and stay this incompetent* It's odd but I was really freaking out when I first got on line just now, but reading old posts cheered me up. I've been working out about 3 to 4 times a week; I've dropped about 7 lbs and am usually able to get to sleep; not tonight apparently. Things seem to be going ok, but I'm freaking out for some reason. I'm keeping more to myself; I'm not being as out going; I'm not dancing as much; staying in Sat night. I'm not depressed; like I said I'm working out a lot and working more at my 2nd job. The truth is I don't know why I"m not as outgoing right now. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:10 am	Prop 8 and WOW I sorta find it interesting that my friends who are black; jewish; gay; arab; or other discriminated against minority at least understand why prop 8 passed. It's my WASPy white upper middle class friends that lose their minds when it comes to prop 8. I suppose in the last 30 years, this is the most blatant display of 'hate' that we've seen, but really.. If you are outraged; I'm right there with you. It's the people who are surprised that I'm surprised about. JFK was upset that Sammy Davis Jr was going to be in a Inter-racial marriage WHILE taking part in his campaign in 1960. Sammy post-posed the wedding till after the election. Inter-racial marriage was banned in 1/3 of US states in 1968. Stonewall didn't happen till 1978. It hasn't really been all that long. 20 years ago this Prop was not needed cause gay marriage wasn't even a something anyone ever considered (outside of the really really gay community) (like CATS; Barbra Streisand; Elton John gay). This issue is tied to God. Gayness is wrong, it says so in the bible, ask anyone living in a Red state; they'll tell you no matter how much you don't want them too. It's ironic but it's the African American community that turned out in record breaking numbers to vote FOR Obama that voted FOR prop 8. This is one we aren't going to win for a while. See you can't change the color of your skin; *unless you started your career on stage with your four brothers* but according to some, you CAN choose not to be gay. Those people are wrong, but it is true that gay is a life STYLE, black is a skin color. So they see it as something you choose to do, and they feel that they are making sin ok by allowing gays to get married. That's really tuff to fight against. I do think that this issue will be tied up in the courts, and even if this actually goes though; in cali at least I think gay marriage will be 100% legal in at most 10 years. So seriously, don't sign petitions, don't get all freaked out and for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD don't protest or march. Use the time to study our political system, and figure out how things get done. Wait for this to play out in courts, and then, IF it does go though, an amendment will come along soon enough. But going to a prop 8 protest in San Francisco is like marching for black awareness in Oakland. If you are going to protest, do it in Sac, or Orange County where it won't just be you shouting at others who agree. Look at the voting, and go to the counties that voted strongly for yes. Stay active in the process by educating yourself on how this is actually going to be implemented. But I promise; hold up a sign and shouting about how wrong it is while in the castro doesn't really help, and it might actually hurt the cause. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:38 pm	HISTORY A woman at work grew up in Alabama where she had to go out the back of certian places and drink from colored only fountains. I made a funny comment to her I'd like to share. She was worried, she said Obama couldn't win, this country is still racist; and up untill I left work on 11/4 she still thought mcCain could win. Fair enough, given her background, I can completly understand why she feels that way. Nothing I said, no polls I showed her, or predictions; electoral maps; nothing would convince her. She said that history dictates that there is racism and hate that runs deep in america. I told her that real history says Obama will win and HAS to win. I told her not to get too caught up in the details of this election; blue states red states; taxes; and look at the REALLY big picture. History teaches us that a fallen king does not get to pick who is next!!! Current Mood: creative (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:20 am	I want to help McCain!!! Dear McCain; I want you to practice this speech a few times so that tonight; when you give your press conference; it will sound polished!!! Friends, we ran a good campaign, and we got our message heard. People from all over this great country of ours have shown love, support and courage; and it only reminds me of how much I love this great country I just got off the phone and congratulated Barak Obama on his victory. Ok... well now's not the time for booing, he's got a tuff job ahead of him; and we need to get behind and support our next president and help him lead us out of this mess we are in. But my friends, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere; I'm going to stay, and fight the fight that we've all worked so hard for; I'm going to keep putting our message out there; I'm going to stop the democrats from raising taxes; and I'm going to keep fighting to make this country great; I'm going to stay in congress and make sure that I fight for YOU!!! I've been fighting for this country since I was 17, I didn't let a Vietnamese prison stop me, and I'm not going to let this stop me!!!!! There, that sounds good. Nod to the base, allowing wiggle room to play ball with the new team.... go out with glory. You're welcome!! Current Mood: accomplished (Comment on this)

12:26 am	I'll send an sos to the world OR I feel like this should have gone better I asked for Oct 10th off so I can be the best man at my best friends wedding. I didn't get it, and my boss only gave me a half a day instead. My friend said that I don't care about his wedding and didn't make him a priority. I totally care about his wedding, just not so much the rehersal dinner being held at 12pm in Orange County. I'm still working. If you think it terms of Alameda County, I've had this job longer then I've had any job in the last three years. But since I got a promotion, it's really two jobs, once 3 months, and another one three months. I'm not going to get fired; at least not tommorow, but I'm not doing very well. ok I should get some sleep.. arg arg arg.. I keep waiting for things to get better. Things ARE better.. but maybe they never REALLY get better, you are just able to take a closer look at things and then have different types of problems. I'm not sure, maybe it's just me and I can't be happy. It's the existential boogie and I don't know what to do.... Please comment on this one... even if it is just: Dear Scott... oh..

9:54 pm	oh how the mighty hath fallen I wasn't going to go on line; but someone I pay a lot of money to talk to every other week said it would be good to keep a journal. I keep one, but not really. I got an official verbal warning at work. I can't stop making stupid spelling mistakes. She said "i don't know what to do, I have a brilliant 30 year old wiz kid who might not be a good fit because of grammar errors.' The truth is I'm slightly dyslexic. I just mess words up, the problem is that it's so bad, and when I re read stuff I don't catch it. However, I haven't been trying my hardest at work. I haven't been trying my hardest at anything really. I'm moving to a cool play on sept. 6th and I've had this attitude of 'oh I'll deal with that once I move'. Everything will be easier once I move, but I've been ignoring my 2nd job; cleaning; and OMFG food. Yes, I ignored food cause I kept thinking.. oh I'm moving soon.. and ate rice three nights in a row. I haven't been the best of friends, writing off a bachelor party; and letting one of my best friends down who just moved to boston and needed someone to lean on. I also hadn't worked out in over two months. Enter theme music, and prepare for the meat of this entry. See, I think I'm like an addict. Sorta. I'm not really addicted to anything; and I can say no to anything *except a lap dance* BUT SERIOUSLY.. people who are in recovery talk about going to meetings. They say that when they don't go to meetings; their life starts to fall apart. They don't use necessarily; but they start partaking in their user behaviors. Staying out late; being selfish; lower amount of self care. Anyone who's ever worked or lived with an addict in recovery knows what I mean. *but Scott Bloom what does this have to do with you* Well I'm glad you asked, TIME magazine.. I think that I just need to come to the realization that for me, working out is like going to meetings for an addict. I need to think of myself as an addict. Most of the big fuck ups in my life occurred when I wasn't working out; or taking a break from it. If I think of myself in that context, I should keep going to the gym, no matter how far it is. See the gym is walking distance to where I'm GOING to be living, so I just kept saying; oh when I move I'll....; and just like an addict not going to meetings, things slowly started to fall apart. I don't think anything is beyond repair; but I'm in hot water; and job stuff is my ONE BIG ISSUE. Ok so I need to work out once a week. And I need to re think it. Not.. oh that's something I should do... more my life will fall apart at the seams if I don't. Some people take medications, some people need to go to meetings, I NEED to work out, and if I don't it will have the same effect as going off your medication, or missing you're meetings. My name is Scott Bloom, and I'm a need-to-work-out-or-else-aholic. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:34 pm	Poll so I don't know how these poll things work, but I have a kitten. And I'm not making a dumb joke (not that I wouldn't, I'm just not). So said feline has a limp that he's had for a week. It hasn't gotten better, it hasn't gotten worse. Dr visit is $90 not including anything else the Dr wants to do. The cat is mewing a little more then normal, but I'm a little more broke then normal and I need to save up for first last and deposit for a place I want. So should I take kitty to the Dr or not. Ok I had a super stressful day at work so I'm not going to try go make a poll. I have to upgrade my status and fire our lasers at the diluthum crystals; and I'm tired. So just let me know what yall think. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:28 am	Turning 30; or Kicking ass and taking names So I noticed I havn't really written in a while. The last twenty days have been totally crazy. Either god is done kicking me in the teeth, or I grew up and so now things are going well for me; either way I turned 30 May 29th and my life, right exactly at that time turned into the kind of life I could look at and say 'yea, that's about where I want to be at 30'! It's no big secret that I've had very very serious job troubles. On Nov 22nd 2007 at 10:30am I completed my LCSW exam and passed the test. So since then I've been an LCSW. About a month later someone from monster . com called me and told me that he wanted me to interview for a company called vibrant care. It's a part time night and weekend job where I would basically set my own hours, tele commute the entire job, and do therapy for an embarrising amount of money per hour. I didn't beleive him at first. I actually didn't believe the entire thing until HR called me and told me that the check was on it's way, and how much the check was for. So since mid December I've been working for Vibrant Care. It's a well paying job, but very undsteady. One week I'll work two hours, the next week I'll work 15 hrs. The average is around 8 per week. So it's a nice part time job, and the position is highly clincial so I enjoy the work. Then I started a job at Alameda County. It's wierd, cause county positions take a REALLY long time. I first applied for this job in June of 07; and interviewd for it August of '07. In early deceber the called me for a seconed interview. And I started Feb 25th. The position is basically this: I visit seniors in the home, and I determine what they need to stay safely in the home. and then the sr gets a money vouchers that can be only used for staffing help and medical equipment. Seniors get to stay in their home longer, and the county doesn't have to put as many seniors in a nursing home. It's a crappy dumb guy job, but it pays REALLY REALLY well; and you get county benefits and security and all that stuff. I put my name on a list for PSW2; psychatric social worker; a position that requires my licence. A friend at work told me to call 'this person' to find out more about the position. After I called, the person who I called wanted to make sure I was in the inteview pool for that position. I intervied in mid may, during the rediculous heat wave. May 28th I got a phoen call at work stating that she wanted me to put in my two week notice. This job is not only a 14k raise, but it's a high level energetic position that requires a good grasp of clincial knowledge. She stated that no one scored higher on the oral examination. So next monday I start my new position. I'm REALLY nervous, simply cause this is put up or shut up time. This is a job, in my field, that I can see myself doing for the next 10 years. This is job I've been training for all this time. Anyway, there will be more to add sooon, butt his is enough for now; wish me luck. (Comment on this)

9:46 pm	Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton Category: News and Politics So I'm not sure Hillary is doing women a favor by not conceding. Basically you have a woman who will not acknowledge the plain truth of the fact that she lost. When stating what it is she wants she was unclear and left people confused wondering what her motives are and why she's doing what she's doing. So a woman is being stubborn, and we are all trying to figure out what the hell she wants. Way to break the mold there Hillary!! (Comment on this)
